Satish Kaushik wanted to commit suicide after ‘Roop Ki Raani Choron Ka Raja’ was a flop: ‘He was a dukhi aatma’ – The Times of India
Satish Kaushik who passed away in March 2023, wasn’t just known for some his iconic roles as an actor, like Calender from ‘Mr India’, but he was also known as a director with movies like ‘Tere Naam’. His directorial debut was ‘Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja‘ in 1993. This was Boney Kapoor‘s passion project as a producer. Kaushik was an assistant director to Shekhar Kapur on ‘Mr India’ and thus, he was on board to direct ‘Roop Ki Rani..’
When Satish passed away, as a tribute to him, a special musical event was organised by Anupam Kher, which was attended by all the well-wishers and friends of the late actor-director. Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Shabana Azmi and many others were seen. During this event, Azmi had revealed, “After the film failed, he was a ‘dukhi aatma’ (sad soul) and he had this feeling that, ‘now I should die.’ He was on the first floor and when he looked down from there, because he was finding ways to commit suicide, there was a party going on. He saw potatoes and brinjals being fried. So, he was like, ‘yaar main aloo baigan ke beech mein agar kud ke marr jaunga toh yeh kharab death hogi (If I fall between potatoes and brinjals and die, it’ll be a bad death)’.”
However, the film flopped badly which left Boney in debts and everyone else in the team deeply upset. Satish Kaushik had almost felt suicidal. Once in an interview with Komal Nahta, Satish had said, “Flop is a small word. It was a disaster. I lost my mind. The film had a big hype but it flopped. The film worked only in premieres, by the time 9th premier of the film was organised only me, Anil Kapoor and Boney Kapoor were left.”
He added, “So, we were going for the film’s premier in Hyderabad and I asked Boney, ‘What is the report of the film?’ He said, ‘Satish it is a disaster.’ Then there was silence. I started howling. Sridevi tried to console me. Bony told me, ‘Satish don’t cry. Don’t make me weak.’ I wiped my tears and was ready for the premiere.”

Deepika Padukone once recalled being locked in the store room by dad Prakash Padukone when she misbehaved: ‘He would switch the light’ | – The Times of India
Deepika Padukone, who is currently on a break from the spotlight after embracing motherhood, recently made headlines as an old video of her from The Kapil Sharma Show went viral. In the video, the actress opened up about her childhood and shared a funny yet strict parenting moment from her father, badminton legend Prakash Padukone.
A Strict but Loving Childhood Memory
While speaking with Kapil Sharma, Deepika Padukone recalled how her father, Prakash Padukone, would handle her childhood mischief. She shared that in their old apartment, misbehaving or skipping homework would lead to a strict punishment—being locked inside a dark store room, with the light switch placed outside, completely under her father’s control.Embracing Motherhood
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh welcomed their daughter, Dua, in September last year. Since becoming a mother, Deepika has mentioned in various interviews that parenthood will likely influence her choice of roles. She also shared that she’s learning to strike a balance between spending time with her daughter and managing her work commitments.
Relatable New Mom Moments
At the Forbes Summit in Abu Dhabi this March, Deepika Padukone opened up about her journey as a new mom. She shared how, like many first-time mothers, she often turns to Google with parenting questions. During the event, she also reflected on advice from her father, who reminded her that above all achievements, people remember you for the kind of person you are—a thought that deeply influences how she approaches both life and career.
On the work front, Deepika Padukone was last seen in Singham Again and the sci-fi epic Kalki 2989 AD. As she eases into her new role as a mother, the actress is expected to return to the big screen with the much-anticipated action film Tiger Vs Pathaan.
